The phrase "A picture is worth a Thousand words" makes sence to me because pictures can make you many different ways. I think it means that you can pick more than one thing out of one picture by the way to makes you feel and the main topic of the picture. Even though certain people may feel different ways about the picture it still has a maining reason for beening published, created, or made

The phrase "A Picture Is Worth A thousand words" means that when you see a picture you may think about many things and you would have ideas that may not even relate to the picture. Yes I think its true because when I saw the picture of Obama and Miccain I thought that Mccain was trying to touch on Obama's bottom, and the picture that have the lady and her friend kissing I thought that thay was just coming from a war or something because of what they had on and the people in the back round. When you see a picture and you dont know much back round about it you would think of weird things about the picture. So yes the phrase is true.

A picture worth a thousand words means, that when you see a picture you want to know more about it. The picture when you see it makes you wonder and makes you feel a emotion. It is true because when I saw the girl in the picture she looked concerned and sad at the same time i felt her emotions run threw me. Also when i saw Obama and Mccain picture i was confused and wanted to laugh at the same time.I think when people see pictures they want to know more about whats going on and why it is happening. A picture is worth a thousand words is meaning a picture can tell a story and make the picture seem more interesting to the viewer.

I think the phrase a pic is worth a thousand words means that one pic could tell you a lot of information. I think this is true because for example, a pic of the twin towers could tell you all about 9-11. Also, maybe a pic of a house could remind you of alot of memories in the experiences at that house.

What the phrase "A picture is worth a thousand words" means that if you see a picture you can have a thousand words to describe it. I believe it's true because I do have a thousand words for those pictures. The picture when they were holding the flag shows how we support our country and looks like we won the war. The picture showing the flag in all the wreckage it looks like it shows that it's all thats left. The picture showing the atom bomb it makes you think of what is getting blown up. The picture with the man kissing the lady he looks to be happy to be back from war. And the picture with Barack Obama and John McCain looks to be photo edited because I think John McCain was getting the chair for him.

A picture is definetly worth a thousand words. I think that this means you can say alot about a single picture. I think this is true in some ways and not true in others. It can be true because some pictures can be explicit and mean alot. It can also be false because a picture can be too plain to mean alot. For the most part a picture is worth a thousand words.

I think that the phrase "A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words" means that one picture can say anything about the subject in that picture, to many diffrent people. I do think that phrase makes sense because diffrent people when looking at pictures have diffrent thoughts running throughout their heads. For example: when i look at a picture of a puppy i would normally say awwww but if somebody else was to look at the same picture they might possible say ewwww, because their a diffrent person and diffrent people have diffrent thoughts and opinions about things.

I think the phrase "A picture is worth a thousand words," means that behind the true picture there is emotion and feeling.Differnt people may think that the picture means something different but the emotion in the picture will stay the same.This meaning is not always true because people can modify the picture to make people think different.For example if the picture is showing sadness they can modify it to make them think the opposite.The phrase could mean many different things to many people.I belive that behind each picture there is some real emotion.

The phrase "a picture is worth a thousand words" means many things. To me it means that sometimes pictures can show the pain and suffering just as well as words. I agree with this sentence because in the picture of the girl sprayed with napalm to me it shows the emotion and the fear better than a paragraph on it. Pictures can be used to show emotion because you see the event and the emotion shown by the victims or people in the photo. They aslo can get the point across without having to say anything such as a bomb going off can get the message of death across just as good as someone saying that many people died. Also it shows how the people looked or acted better than just saying it and you feel more attached to the subject.

I believe that a picture is one thousand words is that you can see alot in the picture that you capture. Although i don think that it is true. The reason i dont think it is true is because people that put out advertisment can always photoshop it so that it is sort of fake in a way. It does show alot of emotions though. I also think that people should not make the picture diffrent because the picture captures alot of moments and people in advertising dont understand that.also "A picture is worth a thousand words" can mean many things, happy, sad, mad, frustrated, gloomy, and so on. I know one thing if i was ever in advertising i would deffinitly not photoshop.

I feel that the pharse a picture is worth a thousand words means that there are many different people in the world, each with their own thoughts and feelings towards a picture. i belive that the pharse could be interpeted either way. If a picture has enough depth, and feeling in it, people could talk about it alot, and have very progressive arguements about it. But the absentence of such a thing could render much less of what it could be. People offten misinterpert the true meaning of a picture, that the thing the creator of the photo meant is not recongnized. But if people could learn to look deepily into the contents of the picture, i beilive that there would be a whole new meaning to the words, profound and feeling in the world.

I think that a picture is worth a thousand words is true. I think that phrase is true because some pictures are so detailed that you can say a lot about it. Some people may think different things about different pictures. If it's a picture about a hot topic people can go on and on about the picture without even stopping to breath. A lot of pictures are taken to make people talk about it. That's why I think a picture can be worth a thousand words.

I think the phrase "A picture is worth a thousand words" means that its easier just to show people a picture than to try to explain something to them. For example, you could be trying to explain what a car part looks like. The other person might not understand what you mean, so you could just show them a picture instead of trying to explain how the car part looks. I think the phrase is true because when you are explaining in words it's not as meaningful than if you would show them a picture. For example, you might read in a book "she looked devastated". Different people will interpret that differently unless you include a picture that clearly shows what she looks like. Meaningful pictures are espescially worth a thousand words. For example if you see a picture of war many words could be said about it and different people could see it differently. I think photography was an amazing invention because then future generations can actully look at the past instead of just reading about it.

The phrase "A picture is worth a thousand words" means that a picture talks for itself. It can also mean that when you look at a picture it can make you feel different things. A picure can mean so many things it can make you sad or happy.The phrase does make since to me. It makes since because when a group of people see a picture,they are more than likely to comment and disuss it. They may think about who took the picure and the person or thing in it.

I think that "a picture is worth a thousand words" means that a thousand people all have a different reaction to a picture. This saying is true to me. A thousand reactions can be caused by a single picture. That is probably why people say "a picture is worth a thousand words". If you look at a picture of the twin towers being destroyed you might have a sad reaction but americas enemies will be glad for this. If there was a picture of an american hero like Martan Luther King jr. we would be happy but our enemies would hate it.

i think the phrase "a picture is worth a thousand words" is true because sometimes a picture can make people feel different about other people or them selfs. a picture can pretty much say alot like how something can be cool or sad like the twin towers. You get a sad feeling with out even saying a word. So when you see a picture its like its talking to you, telling you what happend with out saying a word ( like the twin towers). or to other people could some how make them happy. so pictures can pretty much tell you a story about someone or something just by giving you an image.

I think this because, people have many different opinions on how a picture makes them feel. For example, the 9/11 picture. Most peoople felt disgusted, or really sad. Some thought it wasn't a big deal, or it was cool.

I dont think that a picture is worth Thousand Words.I dont think it is because everybody dont think the same thing. I think it mean that you can talk about a picture for hours. Also you cant talk about some picture for long like a Thousand Words. Most pictures you can talk more than Thousand Words. Picture have other thing you can talk bout about in the picture like the background.This why i think its not Worth Thousand Words.

To me "A picture is worth a Thousand words" means that a picture is more powerful than words can describe. It also means that a picture is a better way of showing how an event happend or how it resoulted. By that I mean, if you have a picture of 9 11 you could have a better understanding of how bad it was to the people who were hurt and died. Even those who had loved ones that died. The pictures of 9 11 are just breath taking when you see the actual crash and how on the one plain how the passengers faught back and crashed into what i think was las Vags or in a field. A picture is so much better than having to listen to a boring leture on what happend, because all that will do is tell you why or who would do something like that.

Yes, I think it was true because when I see a picture I can describe it in a lot of ways. I think that the phrase is true because some pictures show events that may have changed peoples lives and the way that people think. When you see a picture that you can describe in a lot of ways you may want to express the way you think or state what you think about the picture. Some pictures may make you want to do something or be like someone. sometimes when people see a picture they want to go tell someone else about the way they feel about that picture. When you see a picture like the holocaust it makes you sad and it makes you want to express your emotions

I think the phrase "A picture is worth a thousand words" means that a picture can be powerful and bring out different emotions in different people. I think this is true because the picture of the titanic will make some people sad while others will be happy. I also think this is true because when you see a good picture what you say is wow but you have more to say from your heart like this is so heartbreaking or that looks fun. Although a thousand words may seem like a lot I believe it with power that a picture might be still but it stirs up action and emotion in peoples everyday lives. The visual can also be seen differently so someone may see a ski open for the cameraman while others see a lost party member. That is why I believe this phrase is true and also carries power.

What I think a picture worth a thousand word means, is it means that a picture can reall have a deep meaning to it. The picture doesnt have words, but you know what it represents. A lot of deep feelings and words pop into your head, when you think of that picture, or when you look at it. I do think that this can be true, because sometimes you can relate to an event that happend in a picture. You also, on many occasions know what the picture represents, and you can feel many feelings, you can feel sad, angry, sorry, happy, amused, and many more. People think about pictures diffrently. If something in a picture is something that you can really relate to, then the picture can be worth a thousand words.

"A picture is worth a thousand words" to me means that any picture can be described in many different ways. For example a picture of a 911 scene might make you mad, upset, depressed, or if you were happy that 911 happened then it would make you happy. A picture of a cottage up north might remind you of past expierences that you might have had up north.

I think that the phrase "A picture is worth a Thousand Words" means seeing a picture in a different way.I think that this is true because when you photoshop a picture you take the true meaning away. Also when you photoshop a picture you take the beauty away from the original picture.Seeing a true picture means seeing its true beauty and meaning. When you take that away, the picture is automatically fake.Certain people may see the picture as a phony, and some people may see it as a real picyure.

I think the phrase, "A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words," means that you don't need a caption to explain what the picture is trying to tell you. You may have a different opinion on a picture than someone else. Everyone doesn't have the same feelings. Pictures can explain parts of history and the future without words. Pictures are not something that you just look at, it's deeper than that. They express feelings and can also tell a story.

I dont think this phrase is to be taken literally becuase it dosent accually mean that for every picture you can come up with a thousand words for it. And becuase when a person see's a picture they have alot of feeli'ings and thoughts that go along with the photo. I also think this could mean that each picture is unique and different and can be described sepretly from other photos. I also feel like this phrase can mean that one picture can mean a thousand things to one person but a diiferent thousand things to another person.
